Wondering about being lost

Unviáu por awesm el 10 January 2009 en English

I've been trying to incorporate some modest mapping into my recent jogging efforts. Carrying the GPS and sometimes a notebook and pencil is pretty clumsy. The GPS on its own is OK in my hand, but it leaves me reliant on my memory for names. This is like a floppy disk that's been left in a car glovebox. I guess I look like a dweeb, too, but that's also the situation without it. I do get nice performance stats from the GPS unit.

I didn't get lost, but I did wonder about the minds of people who would name a street Wonderlost Outlook. Surely they mean Wanderlust? $SEARCH_ENGINE on that gives me nothing that looks significant. I can only surmise either drugs, stupidity, xenophobia, or a person's strangely mis-Anglicised name.

Perhaps I am being unfair and exhibiting shaded friendship.

I have my GPS strung round my neck (signal doesn't seem to mind), and then a camera in my hand for 'photo mapping' type notes.
If it is cold you could put the GPS on your head then a hat on top, but maybe its never cold enough jogging.
